Depeche Mode records sound really awesome for the most part. The analog electronics translate extremely well onto vinyl. The drums are super punchy and the synth tones are rich. The music is full and dynamic and you get that thick, analog, saturated feel awash in beautiful warmth. The only thing I've noticed on DM releases is that the vocals always seem to be recorded a little bit low and sound distant and not as powerful as the rest of the music. Still this record sounds awesome. I love Specialty Records Corporation pressings as they're quality presses that hold up well over time and come in poly sleeves and manage to stay relatively scratch free and flawless. I would look for the SRC presses when going for these old DM releases.
